Unique Places to Stay in PEI

Published January 14, 2025 | Tourism PEI

As reported by Tamara Elliott of GlobeGuide.ca, “Canada’s tiniest province packs a punch when it comes to inventive lodging.” From floating wine barrels to a converted church and off-grid glamping, Prince Edward Island can offer more than the standard room with four beige walls, a mini fridge and a 'Do Not Disturb' door hanger.

Here are a few favourites that offer a ‘wow’ factor that you might not find anywhere else!

The Hotel Acadia at Blackbush Beach Resort – Grand Tracadie

Take a giant leap forward and a step back in time at the Hotel Acadia. From the late 1800s to 1906, Grand Tracadie was the site of a wellness spa, community hub and meeting place for Islanders and visitors alike until it was destroyed by fire. Today, the welcoming spirit is restored at Blackbush, where the new Hotel Acadia sits at the water’s edge, overlooking the PEI National Park, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the dramatic dunes.
